High Temperature Silicate Fibre Felts 1,200 °C

Silicate Fibre Felts, up to 1,200 °C

Silicate is a mineral made of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and other metallic oxides, such as calcium, magnesium, aluminium, etc. Silicate fibre-based textiles offer different thermal, physical and mechanical properties depending on their level of silicon dioxide.

Silicate fibres are known for their great thermal properties. They can withstand high temperatures than glass fibre or biosoluble fibre. These inorganic fibres don’t contain toxic substances and pose no health risk when handling. They also offer excellent mechanical and chemical properties and are therefore a reliable alternative to ceramic fibres.

Thanks to their thermal resistivity, silicate fibre felts are suitable for high-temperature applications. As they can withstand peak temperatures up to 1,200 °C and operating temperatures up to 1,100 °C, they are used in the industry for thermal insulation as well as the assembly of heat protection. Their good properties also make it possible to use silicate fibre felts for electrical insulation and soundproofing.

The silicate fibre felts proposed by Final Advanced Materials are available in thicknesses ranging from 3 to 25 mm. They contain no organic binder. A mechanical bonding of the fibres provides felts that are compact, soft and stable during their processing.
